Kim Kardashian Explains Her 'Issue' With Walking At The Met Gala, And It All Makes Sense Now

Kim Kardashian has always been willing to go to extremes for the Met Gala . 

At this years bash, the reality star appeared to have trouble walking and breathing in her custom Maison Margiela Artisanal gown by John Galliano, which Kardashian basically confirmed in a video with Vogue.

The Skims founder called breathing in her corset an art form but said she had a handle on it in the video, released Wednesday. 

Walking proved to be an issue, and for good reason. Kardashian explained that she wore shoes without a heel to make sure her look stayed intact, though it did make it more of a challenge to get up the Met Gala stairs. 

Its clever because if I had a shoe with a heel, the heel gets stuck in the metal skirt. And so that was our issue with walking, the American Horror Story star explained while holding up the acrylic, heel-less platforms for the camera. 

To wear these, youre on your tiptoes and youre balancing the whole time flexing your calf muscles, Kardashian said. So thats what Im gonna have to do is stand on my tippy toes. I think ballerinas do it, and they probably have a lot of practice. This is our only practice, but well do it. 

I think we really need the height on this look, so we gotta do what we gotta do, she added. 

Kardashian was right about the we, as she made it up the stairs with the help of two assistants:

If Kardashian wants to pivot to a more comfortable look next year, she can try Bad Bunnys black-and-white Bolero shoes, which resembled hooves.
